Pushing the Envelope by Caroline Taggart

From indecipherable abbreviations and business terminology, to buzz words, motivational phrases and more, it can all start to sound like everyone around you is speaking another language. This is a wry and witty look at office jargon, uncovering the origins and meanings of many phrases that can be heard in the workplace and in everyday life.
